Salus may start taking control over your browser, no matter if you are using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or any other browser. The main idea of this program may seem interesting and useful – it is promoted as a program that is capable of making people's online shopping quicker, easier and successful. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. This potentially unwanted program may display huge amount of coupons, price comparisons, deals and offers in a form of pop-ups, banners and in-text ads. These ads may soon turn into annoying thing that interrupts each of your web searches. Later on, you may notice that Salus ads redirect you to the questionable websites. Beware that you can never know what website you may be redirected to when having Salus virus on your computer.
